Jay Inslee. (Beth Clifton collage)
26 of 30 wolves killed in Washington since 2012 were killed to protect just one ranch
OLYMPIA, Washington––Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?

The Diamond M Ranch, along with a border crossing into British Columbia, are the chief businesses of Laurier, Washington, a “U.S. Census-designated place” rather than a town, in northern Ferry County, with an official human population of one.
